I took this ‘how to build computers’ course basically because I’m sick and tired of getting ripped off by cheesy computer companies. Software baffles me. I like hardware. I used to change my own oil; and now I want to build my own computer so I can have w – Pat Cadigan

A wide variety of devices beyond personal computers are arriving; many of which will be used to browse the Web… The Flash engineering team has taken this on with a major overhaul of the mainstream Flash Player for a variety of devices. – Kevin Lynch

If somebody had told me when I was in graduate school; ‘Brian; in 35 years you’ll get a chance to fly the first commercial spacecraft with no computers;’ I’d have said; ‘I don’t think so. People are not going to be that stupid.’ – Brian Binnie
